- Measuring spoons
- Citrus juicer
- Spoon or spatula
- Serving bowls or jars
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- Cottage cheese – 2 cups
- Fresh key lime juice – 1/4 cup
- Lime zest – 1 tablespoon
- Honey – 1/4 cup
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
- Graham cracker crumbs – 1 cup
- Butter – 2 tablespoons, melted
- Whipped cream – 1/2 cup
- Lime slices, for garnish
- Extra lime zest, for topping
Instructions
Prepare the graham cracker base
- Place the graham cracker crumbs into a small mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and stir well until the crumbs look evenly coated. Spoon the mixture into serving bowls and press lightly to form a crust layer.
Blend the creamy filling
- Add cottage cheese, key lime juice, lime zest, honey, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend everything until very smooth and creamy. The texture should look silky without large cottage cheese pieces remaining.
Fill the dessert bowls
- Carefully spoon the creamy lime filling over the graham cracker crust layer. Smooth the tops gently with the back of a spoon so each bowl looks neat and even before chilling.
Chill before serving
- Place the bowls into the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes. Chilling helps the filling thicken slightly while making the flavor taste cooler and more refreshing, especially during warm summer days.
Add toppings and garnish
- Top each bowl with whipped cream, extra lime zest, and fresh lime slices before serving. These toppings add bright flavor and make the dessert look beautiful for family dinners or parties.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Blend the filling longer for a silky smooth consistency.
- Chill overnight for even better flavor and texture.
- Add fresh berries for extra color and sweetness.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Keep toppings separate until serving for best freshness.
